Square Holding My Money — Amazon suspended my seller account

Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

Amazon suspended my seller account. I've been dealing with this for about 2 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $10,986. I have tried contacting their legal department 5 times with no resolution.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

I practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, the EFTA. Your state may provide additional protections.

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's bar association? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.
